    Tiktok has always been like this.

    Their comment system is absolutely broken and actually it’s probably on purpose. 90% of these comments get restored on appeal but they are already burried deep so it’s very popular moderation strategy where the system relies on correction to appear safe an intelligent but the correction ends up being irrevant in the grand scale of things.

    Same thing with Twitter community notes which add context when everyone already read the tweet to give an illusion of moderation and safety.

    As an engineer I’m honestly very impressed by the effectivenes of this strategy — it’s brilliant despite, you know, being evil — and it’ll take public a while to catch up.

    I mean, fuck Tik Tok, yes. But also try saying “Liberate Hong Kong”, “Taiwan Independence”, “Remember Tiananmen Square 1989”, or “Xi is Winnie The Pooh” on Rednote. Let’s not pretend that Rednote, or any other Chinese media, is free of censorship either.

      Poor baby doesn’t get to (1) call for violence on an international scale (2) Commit blood libel, or (3) Be openly racist

      Typical western liberal

      The difference here is that TikTok did not enforce censorship on content related to the genocide in Palestine, nor did it have a right-wing bias in the algorithm like, say, Twitter does.

      This shift in censorship puts TikTok in line with Twitter and Facebook/Instagram on the propaganda narrative that they want on their platform. Which is a massive issue for anybody left of white supremacists who cares about free speech and facts.

        nor did it have a right-wing bias

        looks at how they promote AfD influencers in Germany, and how they promoted targeted videos to try to elect a neo-nazi in Romania

        It doesn’t have what?

        Well arguably it has whatever-destabilizes-the-country-the-most bias, but for most of the western world this mostly means they have a pro local fascists bias.

      Yes, you’re right. “This population under a genocide should liberated” and “Chinese man is yellow bear lol” are equivalent forms of conversation. Absolutely heroic.

        I’m not following the logic, do they censor content differently based on the country of the account holder??

          They meant physical consequences as in using China’s internet access unique id to identify the commenter and then having them “reeducated” by local government forces.

    Not an adjustment, it’s literally always been that way.

    Loops.video, or at least Bluesky.

      Bluesky will meet the same fate. It’s “federated” mostly in name only.

      Loops is promising though, but it’s obviously not polished enough or ready for mass use yet

      anything with enough money behind it will enshitify and you’ll find yourself looking for an alternative again in the future.
